EASY GRAPE SALAD

I bet people would love this salad,

and it's so quick and easy to make...

would be a good one to bring along to a picnic or any event...

You will need:

1 pound green grapes, seedless

1 pound red grapes, seedless

1 package cream cheese, softened (8 ounces)

1 jar marshmallow creme (7 ounces)

1 package slivered almonds (6 ounce), this could be optional.

(I would cut all the grapes in half)

FREE PRINTABLE CUPCAKE WRAPPERS

These would be fun because most cupcake wrappers have looked the

same for many years.  And the ones that have had designs on them don't seem to

look the same after the cupcakes are baked anyway.

(put these on after your cupcakes are baked.  Don't put these in the oven!)

This site has bunches of different designs to choose from.

I have been planning for a long time to try design some of my own...

now this gave me the boost I need for another fun project..

I will post mine on here after they are finished and you can print them if 

you want...

...but for now....here are these cute ones...

Here is where you can see the other designs and 

print what you want....

APPLE SANDWICH (no bread)

Now I like this idea!

As I said a while ago I am picky about the kind of breads I use...

here is an idea for a sandwich with no bread...

I've tried using lettuce in place of sandwich bread...

now this...I bet there are a lot of other bread replacements out there....

I also really love a lefse sandwich, and there are probably some of you out there that

don't know what lefse is...we grew up on it at holiday times.  Now I buy

it all the time and it's great for a sandwich...

if you do wonder what it is leave me a comment and I will do a post

on it!

..here is the apple sandwich idea...

RAINBOW SWIRL BREAD

Now this is something I have never seen before...

I love finding really different kinds of bread recipes...

I have never been a fan of plain white bread.  I always search the

stores for something different.  I like ones that have more of a texture to them.

Think how fun it would be to have sandwiches out of this bread at a child's party, or

even surprise them with it in their school lunch boxes....

CRUNCHY NACHO CRESCENT DOGS

These would be fun for lunch.

They look pretty easy to make and something crunchy and different.

I remember my aunt Tina telling me once that she always put chopped celery

and onion in her macaroni salads because foods should have a crunch when

you eat them...

I bet kids would love helping to make these too,  rolling them in the crushed chips.

I like these quick crescent roll foods...

1 tube crescent rolls

4 slices American or cheddar cheese

4 hot dogs

1 tablespoon milk

2 cups crushed cheddar tortilla chips

Here are the directions...
